Godot users don't give death threats, just saying.

You're making two, big incorrect assumptions:

1. Simply seeing something on the internet does not give you any legal or moral rights to use that thing in any way other than things which are, or have previously been, deemed to be "fair use" by a court of law. Individuals have personal rights over their likeness and persona, and copyright holders have rights over their works, whether they are on the internet or not. In other words, there is a big difference between "visible in public" and "public domain".
2. More importantly, something that might be considered "fair use" for a human being do to is not necessary "fair use" when a computer or "AI" does it. Judgements of what is and is not fair use are made on a case by case basis as a legal defense against copyright infringement claims, and multiple factors (purpose of use, nature of original work, degree and sustainability of use, market effect, etc.) are often taken into consideration. At the very least, AI use has serious implications on sustainability and markets, especially compared to examples of human use.

I know these are really tough pills for AI fans to swallow, but you know what they say... "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."

Republicans are absolutely desperate to try to equate Biden with Trump so they can say "well Biden was impeached too" or "Biden had documents too".

That's what it's all about, and it's a gross distortion of government and democracy.

Iwojima, baby. Mixers unite.

Why are soda combos gross but alcohol combos are not?

People will spend $15 on a cocktail with olives and shit in it, but no we gotta draw the line at people putting a splash of Mr. Pibb into their Coke Zero...

(I love self-serve fountain drinks and I'll die on this hill, motherfuckers.)

Unpopular opinion: Teams collaborate better in presence. Remote attendance is inferior to being in the same room even with the most expensive Cisco board or meeting owl.

How do you explain the dominance of free and open source projects like Linux which are developed remotely by people all over the world?

There are plenty of examples of people collaborating effectively from different towns or time zones. If anything, I think too many organizations are too inflexible or have simply been structured in a way that they can't be efficient remotely.

This is absolutely a good move, though I don't know how effective it'll be on its own. Unfettered AI garbage "content" is soon going to flood every storefront and service around, and the only way to really solve it is to close things down and move to more highly curated platforms. I wish that wasn't the case, but I can image a future where it's hard to find anything worthwhile in a sea of AI-generated junk.

Nothing says fascism like... [checks notes] shipping?

That's very true, but all of their minds were made up about that years ago. I know the average person is fucking stupid as fuck, but I can't help but wonder how many people are still sitting on the fence when it comes to Trump.

That's the picture they're painting, but unfortunately for them nobody's buying it.

Fuck around...

I'd buy a new Steam Deck. My wishlist is: more seamless docking experience, eGPU support, slightly more comfortable/grippy back buttons, less mushy Steam/QAM buttons, OLED screen.
